A gynecologist had become fed up with sky-high malpractice insurance and on the verge of being burned out. Hoping to try another career where skillful hands would be beneficial, he decided to change careers and become a mechanic.
He found out from the local technical college what was involved, signed up for evening classes, attended diligently and learned all he could.
When the time for the practical exam, the gynecologist prepared carefully for weeks and completed the exam with great skill.
When the results came back, he was surprised to find that he had obtained a score of 150%. Fearing an error, he called the instructor, saying \"I don\'t want to appear ungrateful for such an outstanding result, but I wondered if there had been an error which needed adjusting.\"
The instructor said, \"During the exam, you took the engine apart perfectly, which was worth 50% of the total. You put the engine back together again perfectly, also worth 50% of the total.\"
The instructor went on to say, \"I gave you an extra 50% because you did it all through the muffler.\"
